If you haven't had a few dents in your resume, you haven't tried.

When you're asked/told to come to Canberra by your Prime Minister, in the country I grow up in, you obey that.

The most generous part of your philanthropy could be the time you put in to procure the same results and same outcomes and same returns you demand in business.

You don't try and put rockets under prime ministers.

I would say to young entrepreneurs and budding philanthropists - are you giving to feel good or do good?

If you look hard at it, if you look hard at the bleeding heart attitude to always throw money at issues, throw money at problems, what you're in fact probably saying is you're exercising a prejudicism of low expectations.
